Then you have companies like Nintendo, who see a passionate remake of Metroid 2 and stomp that poo poo into the ground and Toei, probably as of right now, the undisputed kings of strangling a fan passion project that only increases positive attention for their property.

Toei even seems to be lovely about the streaming of DBFZ in tournaments. You know, the officially licensed product, the promotion of which in tournaments and the like is probably only good for Bandai-Namco, Arc Sys, Toei, and the DB brand in general. So I think it's fair to say the way they handle things extends from beyond just "being ruthless" to "being stupid"

I think RWBY is a bit like Kingdom Hearts (and the Joker movie, funnily enough) where if you're not familiar with where a lot of these ideas come from inspiration-wise, it's probably way more impressive to you.

Here's Ozaru Vegeta, bitches:




toyark.com posted:

In Japan, the figure will be a Bandai Premium Web Exclusive, but should be available from regular retailers when released by Bluefin. The figure is huge, standing at 12.7″ tall, towering over the other figures in the Dragon Ball line up. The figure will use diecast pieces in the chest to support the arm weight, and click features in the ankles to keep the figure stabilized. The jaw is movable, and it will include a swap out face part with a battle damaged eye. Other accessories include swap out hands, two hands crushing Goku, a scaled Yajirobe, swap out regular and cut tails, and a dedicated figure stand.

In Japan, pre-orders are scheduled to go live on February 7th. The figure is priced at 18,700 Yen (about $170 USD). Great Ape Vegeta is scheduled for release in August.

I'm skipping this guy, but give me an Ozaru Goku/Gohan and I'll bite.

He could have opted to not talk about it, or do some "that's not up to me to decide" statement, or taken some other non-committal stance.

But no. He actively chose to say that -- in his opinion -- it was wrong for TFS to do what they do.

He can go gently caress himself.

Sean tends to come off as very non-net savvy and insulated, if you ask me. Sabat is really good at interacting with fans, staying in the loop with things, and being a good PR dude. Sean is just kind of there. I'm not sure he really knows how to handle situations like this, or even what these things entail, and just defaults to "copyright infringement bad".

Savvy or not, it makes him look like a bad sport when he suggests that it's mocking something he loves -- about a show made by fans for fans.

Find me a fandom that doesn't have a million inside jokes that take the piss out of the thing they enjoy.

Oh, no, I didn't mean to say he's not a bad sport. I just mean that I get the sense that in Sean's mind, he's not tuned into this sort of thing. He's a weird dude, and it makes sense that his views are kind of archaic too. He doesn't seem to be a bad person, but he doesn't seem to be well connected to the way fandoms work either. I don't know if I'm stating this right. I mean that he's wrong, but he's also weird and disconnected so I don't know if he could manage to be right.

Yeah Sean's history screams to me "I really don't give a poo poo, I don't know anything about this story, but leave my money train alone please."



He'd be better served by not commenting on it, as someone said above. I just don't think he's built that way though.

No, I get you. I wasn't disagreeing with you or anything.

I mean, not knowing/caring to know any better is essentially the reason anyone ever says anything incredibly dumb.

Yeah, I thought Sean's response was alright, too. He tried to be as nice as he could, and he's not wrong. DBZA is pretty much a slightly better produced Calvin Pissing on a Ford Logo bumper sticker

This is why I was really skeptical of them doing it using the shortz animation. I'm not familiar with IP law, but still using the ip to make original content expressly to be able to monetize it by avoiding the auto claim seemed like a hail mary attempt at best. Maybe the rights are distributed differently, but I tried to imagine disney leaving someone alone making a for profit star war series without any agreement and I couldn't see how it could be done.

I wish retrospective on four star bento had been able to endure, but I know scott said the research time for that was prohibitive. Not a lot of their side projects have felt long lived but i hoe it pays off.
